The Seoul Global Center will accept applications for its spring free Korean language classes on Jan. 16 and 17.

The classes take place in the center’s conference room and run from Feb. 4 to April 26.

There are eight levels, starting with learning the alphabet, as well as a class for intermediate-level TOPIK takers.

Classes meet twice a week in the morning or evening, depending on the level.

Classes are free, but students have to buy their textbooks.

Applicants should visit the center in person between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and bring their Alien Registration Card and a passport photo. Proxy or online applications are not accepted.
